Summary: How to add a utility room, en suite, toilet or shower, even in the basement
Two of our most frequently asked questions are:
"I am planning another bathroom but the soil and vent pipe is on the other side of the house. How do I overcome this?"
"I would like to turn my basement into a utility room but how can I empty a washing machine or sink?"
Now, with the help of Heat and Plumb, the whole operation is as simple as pie!! Adding an extra toilet, washing machine, dishwasher and even shower are made so simple with the use of modern day macerators (waste pumps). Take a look at how simple it is and how it is now possible to make your dream bathroom or en-suite a reality.
Here is a chart showing you different macerators and waste pumps. Its possible to get wastes now from every corner of the building. Click on the chart to get a closer look at each pump.
Some macerators fit neatly behind the wc itself as shown below. Click on images for more information.
Some units are built into the wc, and some are stored separately out of sight. Click on images for more information.
Sanivite (Ref No 1004) is specially designed to deal with the hot soapy pumped waste water from dishwasher or washing machine, making the addition of a domestic kitchen or utility room easy even when below or distant from a drain.
SANISHOWER Mini Shower Waste Pumping System
The waste pump for showers and hand wash basins
Sanishower is a small, strong, purpose designed pump for discharging hot waste water from shower and washbasin to a distant drain.
The product is especially useful where a shower or wash basin is to be sited in a place where gravity drainage will be difficult or impossible to run - for example in a basement or on an internal wall of a property. Sanishower can be installed next to or underneath a shower tray with access and will discharge waste water through 22mm small-bore pipework, vertically up to 4 metres or horizontally up to 50 metres or a lesser combination of both.
